Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1: Split To Hvar

Location: Hvar

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat

Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner

Ready to kickstart your Croatia sail trip? This morning we'll meet in Split, boarding our boat with, you guessed it, boat loads of enthusiasm. After our first stint at sea we’ll arrive in the glamorous playground of Hvar, where big shiny boats meet grand historic architecture. Once you've taken in the sites, you will dine alfresco on board, it’s a tough day in paradise.

Day 2: Hvar To Korčula

Location: Korčula

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Korcula, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Korčula may sit incredibly close to the mainland of Croatia but it's an island all of its own, which means we'll be slipping into island vibes accordingly. Hidden bars, peachy sunsets & cobbled streets by the beach, our appreciation for this country will be skyrocketing.

Day 3: Korčula To Dubrovnik

Location: Dubrovnik

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

This morning we'll wake up in beautiful Korčula but we'll then be heading off to Dubrovnik. In the words of Bernard Shaw, acclaimed socialist & playwright, "those that seek paradise on earth should seek it in Dubrovnik." You heard the man - let's do this! Welcome to Paradise. Home to rugged cliffs, lashing seas, historic buildings (and a tonne of Game of Thrones references.) Today you'll have the chance to explore Dubrovnik on foot with a local guide. Tonight, head for the nightlife of the Urban District. Partying not your thing? No biggie. There are plenty of local restaurants, bars and cafes for you to check out too!

Day 4: Dubrovnik

Location: Dubrovnik

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

The city of Dubrovnik is so much more than just a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Game of Thrones location - not that either of those claims to fame are even mildly mediocre. Visit Dubrovnik's Old Town, The Minceta Tower and Fortress Lovrijenac - otherwise known as GoT's King's Landing, entrance to the House of the Undying and The Red Keep. Or grab a kayak and view the maginificant city walls from the turquiose sea.

Day 5: Dubrovnik To Trstenik

Location: Trstenik

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

You think we're done sailing around Croatia? Not a chance. This morning we'll sail past the palms, cypresses, olive trees, citrus plantations and colourful reefs of the Elaphite Islands. As the sun sets, we'll dock at the unspoiled village of Trstenik. Here we'll have the chance to support and visit a family-owned winery and of course, sample some wine too. Then it's back to the boat for an optional Captain's dinner (and a night of ship shenanigans).

Day 6: Trstenik To Makarska

Location: Makarska

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Makarska, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

After the peace and tranquillity of Trstenik, it’s time to head back to the mainland for more action. After a spot of swimming we’ll arrive in Makarska where we’ll be blessed by the beautiful Biokovo mountains and a long stretch of beach ready to be enjoyed.

Day 7: Makarska To Split

With one night left of the Mediterranean high life, we'll sail back to our starting point of Split. Now contented by our time at sea, we can relax & soak up the Roman heritage of this atmospheric city, revel in more Game of Thrones' filming locations and indulge in a final optional dinner in the heart of the historic city.

Day 8: End Split

FAQs

  • Split: What’s the difference between the rooms on the boats? Standard boats will have sun-decks so you can soak up the sunlight. Premium boats (the Plus version of our trip has Premium boats) have larger sundecks with a mid-weekly linen service. And as the name suggests - Luxe boats have bigger rooms and a special food menu.
  • Split: Do the rooms on the boat have air conditioning? Yep, all bedrooms on the boats have air conditioning. They’re small and fit perfectly into the cabins (and work great for a quick cool down).
  • Split: Do all rooms on the boats have shared toilets? All rooms are fitted with an ensuite. The premium boats tend to have bigger bathrooms.
  • Split: At what time will we be docking back into the last city? If the weather gods are on our side (which they usually are), we should be docking back up in Split at 3PM.
  • Split: Can I share the room with my partner or friends? Yes, mostly. If you’ve booked together with a partner or a friend on a twin-share trip, you’ll be roomed together. If you’re travelling with your friends on a multi-share trip, and have made separate bookings, don’t forget to tell our 24/7 support team that you’re travelling together. The Trip Manager will always try their best to put you in the same room. But please note, this can’t always be guaranteed.

My amazing trip to Africa

13-Jan-2023

Sherif was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single small detail at each site that we visited. In addition to his great service, he has a glowing spirit that made me feel like I had family with me the entire trip. Anything that I was concerned about, he always had an answer and was there to help. I truly enjoyed my experience and will purchase a tour with him in the future
